Julius Abure was appointed as the party’s national leader by a Federal High Court in Abuja, and Esther Nenadi Usman has been confirmed as the party’s legitimate leader.
A Supreme Court ruling from April 4, 2025, which established Abure’s tenure had expired, served as Justice Peter Lifu, who delivered the judgment.
In a matter of days, the court ordered the United States’ Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize the Usman-led Caretaker Committee as the only legitimate representative of the Labour Party.
Sen. Usman filed a lawsuit challenging Abure’s leadership, and this decision was made.
Abure’s removal from the National Executive Committee (NEC) was the result of a leadership disagreement with the organization.
In order to fill the leadership void, the party established a 29-member caretaker committee, with Usman serving as chairman.
Persecondnews recalls that the Supreme Court had previously ruled that Abure was the LP chairman, citing the fact that the case was a matter of internal party intrigue and not justiciable.
Political parties must adhere to their rules and regulations, according to the court.
